As you know, I'm under the SBNation umbrella. And part of that means that there are certain guidelines that SBNation wants folks to follow.
One of those things is that pejorative racial terms aren't acceptable. And that's a policy I wholeheartedly agree with.
In the past, I've just deleted posts that have used unacceptable terms.
However, I'm tired of doing that, and I shouldn't have to do that.
So from now on, if you use the word that got Michael Richards in so much trouble, you'll be automatically banned.
And if you otherwise make pejorative racial slurs, you are subject to being banned.
I don't want to ban people, and have been pretty hands-off in this regard in the past, but feel like I need to draw a line here.
